German term

aus der Fachkonzeption durch Klassen

German to English Tech/Engineering SAP
"Hier zeigt sich, dass durch Objektorientierung erreicht wird, dass die Entitäten aus der Fachkonzeption durch Klassen eine direkte softwaretechnische Entsprechung besitzen."

I wonder if someone could please explain what the German means exactly. I'm confused by "durch Klassen" does it mean "from conception through to classes" or "using classes". I find the German difficult to understand.

Hi Bernhard. Thanks for all your suggestions. I placed the query under Monolingual because we're only allowed to enter one term at a time in our questions so I didn't think I'd be able to enter the question under DE-EN. Ultimately, I wanted to try to understand what the German meant but I'm grateful for your (and Inma's) translations.
Bernhard Sulzer May 12, 2008:
Hello macrettoc. I just saw that you put this under monolingual German. Did you want that?

conceptional level is equivalent to the technical software level through classes

literal: entities of the conceptional level are equivalent to the technical software level through classes, made possible by object-orientation.


or:
the entities (abstract conceptualizations or representations of abstract or concrete things) are expressed through classes, made possible through object-orientation. (here I interpreted "Entsprechung" as representation)

Alternative or broader interpretation (depending on your context and what they refer to as entities):

the software level is a mirror image of the conceptional level (through classes)

what goes on on the conceptional level is now mirrored on the software level through classes.

This could mean that things that were in the past only reserved for the conceptional level (conceptualizations, representations) are now also done on the technical software level.

Objects/classes are not simply data/data families (categories) but they have more and more complex functions to fulfill.

In the past, information systems used to be defined primarily by their functionality: data and functions were kept separate and linked together by means of input and output relations.

The object-oriented approach, however, focuses on objects that represent abstract or concrete things of the real world. These objects are first defined by their character and their properties which are represented by their internal structure and their attributes (data). The behaviour of these objects is described by methods (functionality).

Erklärung auf Deutsch:

Interpr. 1:
Entitäten des Konzeptionslevel werden auf dem technischen Softwarelevel konzeptualisiert/repräsentiert, und zwar durch die Klassen, was durch die Objektorientierung erreicht wurde.

Interpr. 2:
der softwaretechnische Level ist ein Spiegelbild/eine Entsprechung des Konzeptionslevels, und zwar durch die Klassen.

Was also früher nur auf dem Konzeptionslevel ablief, gibt's jetzt auch auf dem softwaretechnischen Level, und zwar durch die Klassen. Erreicht wurde dies durch Die Objektorientierung.

Das könnte also bedeuten, dass die Dinge, die in der Vergangenheit nur für den Konzeptionslevel vorbehalten waren (Repräsentation wirklicher oder abstrakter Dinge, Multifunktionalität und neue komplexe Vorgänge), jetzt auch auf dem Softwarelevel durchgeführt werden.
